The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Initial Step
Extremely pleased with himself, The CEO smiled and gestured an okay sign to Hera which was met with a nod.

The producer he called happened to be a close friend, which made the request go smoothly without any hiccups. Moreover, it was a win-win situation for both parties involved.

He couldn’t help but anticipate his boss’s next moves and how events would unfold. If she weren’t a wealthy heiress, he would undoubtedly consider recruiting her as his artist. He saw immense potential in her to achieve great success.

Even though she hasn’t done anything yet, people are already captivated by her beauty and keep clamoring to see her on screen.

He walked out of the mansion, practically skipping with a grin on his face. Unsure of what to expect, he was confident that their boss wasn’t naive, and because of it, he anticipated some juicy gossip to unfold soon.

Upon reaching Avery’s extravagant gate, he paused, casting a glance back at the mansion before deciding to call his PR team. “Spread the word of Hera’s upcoming appearance on tomorrow’s late-night gossip interview and make sure to highlight that a rumor circulated of her location leaking, leading to her having no choice but to accept this interview to end the madness because she feared potential harassment at her new home.”

In short, he plans to dramatize the entire thing so others will be roped in to watch it.

Soon, a well-known gossip blogger with certified credibility of acquiring first-hand gossip posted on his page.

He started his post with an intriguing headline as a clickbait so others had no choice but to click and check the contents.

[You wouldn’t believe this!!! Tomorrow’s Late-Night Gossip’s Guest was changed to!!!]

[Nightwatch: So here’s the latest Gossip update for ya’ll, according to my source, tomorrow’s supposed guest has been replaced!

And the new guest is, the one everyone is very intrigued about. She’s allegedly been dubbed as Alexi’s extreme fan.

If you are thinking of Hera Ainsley. You guessed it right! She is the stunning sister who’s been allegedly stalking Alexi all this time.

Apparently, her whereabouts were discovered by her new neighbor, who then tipped off the late-night gossip show ‘Was it True or Not, I Dare You to Prove It’. They threatened Hera, promising to expose her location on the internet if she didn’t agree to the interview.

So, there you have it!

I was actually pretty shaken to hear this news and I thought of sharing it with all of you as soon as I caught wind of it. It’s still very hot!!!

PS: If you don’t believe me, you can wait and see for yourself. If you lose, don’t forget to tip me for my hard work and send it to me via QR code that was attached to my page. Thank you in advance!]

Within minutes, the post was inundated with a barrage of surprise questions, causing chaos and effectively paralyzing the entire platform.

[OneOfYou!: Is this for real?!]

[XOxo: +1]

[Miki: +1]

[asiaisthebest: No way!!! Wasn’t she hiding like a convict these days because she is guilty?]

[iluvmygf: The one upstairs, you just said it. She was hiding like a convict and was feeling guilty so of course she would rather show up in the interview and answer all questions rather than her address being exposed. Wasn’t she afraid of being harrassed by Alexi’s fans?!]

[justpassing_by: I don’t care about anything, all I know is I’m drooling over her face. I’m licking my screen for the whole day…]

[alexinumber1: The one upstairs, you’re so annoying! Just because she’s beautiful doesn’t mean it is right for her to harass our Alexi!]

[justpassing_by: Auntie, leave me alone! I don’t have an appetite for old aunties like you! I only like Hera!]

[JUST_HAVINGfun: LOL! Auntie, I stand with the guy upstairs! According to the law, no one’s a criminal until proven guilty. Don’t be bitter just because you’re jealous of our Miss Hera. XOXOXO]

[alexinumber1: What did you say you motherfucker?! Who are you calling Auntie? I’m only 17!!!]

[XOxo: LOL LOL! 17 my ass! You looked older than me who’s 25 Hahaha.]

[IamaDaoist: Auntie, your fake face is full of cake powder and cracking up, don’t spit fire on us. We’re just riding in on the fun.]

[Myalexinumber1: Only lawless guys like you, will like a stalker like Hera! So Disgusting!]

[Mymanaisunlimited: All of Alexi’s fans are so brainless that they can’t even see how fake their idol is TSK! You looked ugly and blind.]

Because of the continuous trolling of the guys simping for Hera, Alexi’s fans went ballistic and they started a battle on the internet which continuously paralyzed the server the moment it went back on.

The Network administrators working on the server problem had no choice but to forcefully turn off the comments, they tried to delete the post overall but they were denied by the high-ups so they could only choose the second-best option.

Although the comment section has been turned off, there are still some people who immediately started a thread on their own to rant about Hera and her increasing support mostly composed of teenage boys to men in their early 30s.

Hera’s social media platform skyrocketed to a million followers, with half of them comprising her haters relentlessly reporting her account and criticizing her alleged break-in at Alexi’s apartment. Another quarter were there for entertainment, while the remaining quarter worshipped her, scrolling through all her previous posts and hailing her as their Goddess.

Meanwhile, Hera remained oblivious to the internet frenzy as she was fully engrossed in her first lesson with her instructor, who was diligently imparting knowledge about business and finance.

She had a solid understanding of finance, as it was her major at university and she was currently in her second year. However, her knowledge of business was limited, so she devoted all her attention to the lesson, which lasted for two hours.

Her dedication paid off, as her instructor was thoroughly impressed by her intelligence. She absorbed everything he taught like a sponge and even contributed some ingenious ideas and out-of-the-box thinking of her own.

Feeling relieved, he initially worried about having a challenging time teaching her, especially after hearing about her busy schedule with part-time work and limited time for studying, along with her focus solely on finance and minimal knowledge of business administration. He assumed she only scratched the surface of the subject matter. However, witnessing her capabilities firsthand, he entrusted her with numerous assignments and tasks, confident in her ability to complete them independently.

He found that he only needed to provide her with guidance and direction, and she would be able to navigate on her own. Delighted by his discovery, he happily reported his findings to Old Master Avery, who was clearly beaming from ear to ear upon hearing that his precious granddaughter possessed the same talent as her parents.

After bidding her instructor farewell and returning to her study, which was attached to her room, she delved back into the assignments left for her to complete. Completely engrossed in the new knowledge that had been imparted to her, she lost track of time.

And soon, it was already dark. Cindy had to remind her to go to the dining room to eat her dinner with her grandfather.

As she made her way downstairs, Athena’s voice came through the phone the moment she answered it. “Hey, babe! Is it true you’re doing an interview tomorrow?”

“Well, I have to clear my name somehow.” Hera responded nonchalantly.

“Then why not just post the evidence online? Wouldn’t that be easier?” Athena asked, sounding completely baffled.

“It sure is. But we have to add a little drama to make everything more believable. After all, don’t people enjoy conspiracy theories? It’ll be more engaging if it’s not just a one-way show. Let’s invite the audience to join in the fun so that over time, the evidence becomes indispensable.”

“Huhuhu! I like the sounds of it.”

“Of course! Because we’re petty!” Hera playfully smirked. “We’ll see how are they going to wiggle their way out of their own mess.”

“Where will the stage be? I need to be there!”

“Oh, you’re right. Thanks for reminding me,” Hera said to Cindy, instructing her to change the interview venue to the Dragon Jade Building’s garden. Turning to Athena, she added, “You’ll have to help me with my appearance tomorrow.”

Even without seeing each other’s faces, they both knew what the other was thinking and they shared mischievous grins.

Despite being extremely intrigued, her grandfather refrained from asking for any details about her plans for tomorrow, and they enjoyed their dinner peacefully. They engaged in conversation about various companies and the challenges her grandfather encountered during his workday, discussing how he handled them. He shared his experiences with her in the hope that she would glean important lessons on her own.

Hera didn’t disappoint her grandfather; she showed complete interest in the topics discussed and actively contributed her thoughts without hesitation. She wasn’t afraid to be corrected or to make mistakes due to her inexperience, but rather welcomed her grandfather’s helpful insights and constructive criticism with open arms.
